Eight nations condemn Israeli strikes on Gaza hospitals
Türkiye and seven partners call attacks on medical facilities breach of international law and warn they imperil ceasefire
ANKARA (MNTV) — Eight countries led by Türkiye have condemned Israeli strikes on hospitals, medical infrastructure, and civilian areas in Gaza, warning that the attacks violate international law and threaten efforts toward a lasting ceasefire.
In a joint statement, the foreign ministers of Türkiye, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates accused Israel of ongoing violations that have killed and wounded civilians, including women and children.
Strikes on hospitals and medical services, they said, represent a serious breach of international humanitarian obligations, and risk derailing the next phase of a Gaza peace plan.
The ministers linked the situation to the occupied West Bank, citing settler violence, settlement expansion, and measures they said threaten the status of occupied East Jerusalem and the prospects for a Palestinian state alongside Israel.
They rejected any attempt to annex Palestinian territory or forcibly displace Palestinians, and reaffirmed support for a settlement based on the pre-1967 boundaries, with East Jerusalem as the capital of a future Palestinian state.
The countries called on the international community, particularly the UN Security Council, to enforce compliance with humanitarian law and hold those responsible for violations to account.
The statement reflects mounting international alarm over Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and renewed doubt about whether global mechanisms meant to protect civilians in war are working.
